Notes: Dependent variable is age-adjusted log death rate for the age group and gender indicated. Parameters are the estimated mortality semi-elasticity with respect to the state-year unemployment rate or employment-to-population ratio, with coefficients multiplied by 100. Each cell is a separate regression, except for the employment-to-population ratio divided by age group, in which all three are included in the same regression. The sample size is 1479. Controls include State and Year Fixed effects, state-specific trends, demographic and education controls. Standard errors clustered at the state level. Estimates weighted by state-year population of relevant age group.
